I posted a few weeks back about you guys SCARING ME OUT OF MY DOUBLE IPA.
Well, I took some of your advice and bought a big, fat 7.5 gallon brewpot. I can now do (and just did my first) FULL-BOILS; I had to place the pot over TWO BURNERS on the stove, but it got rolling in NO TIME.
And then I said "TO HELL WITH IT!" and wrote up a big, fat Double IPA recipe based solely on the hops that I have liked in the past. I want citrus, I want pine, I want some spicy aroma too. So here it is, feel free to comment or flame the hell out of it, it won't bother me because in my opinion the best way to learn is through EXPERIENCE!
"BIG SLAMMU DOUBLE IPA" by Brewdimus Prime Beers®
Grain Bill:
8# Extra Pale DME (1# @ 90 min. / 1# @ 60 min. / 6# @ 15 min.)
1/2# English Pale Ale Malt (30 min. @ 155 degrees)
1/2# Carapils (30 min. @ 155 degrees)
1/4# Crystal 40L (30 min. @ 155 degrees)
1/4# Crystal 10L (30 min. @ 155 degrees)
Hop Schedule:
2 oz. Centennial 90 min. = 66.2 IBU
1 oz. Amarillo 75 min. = 33.6 IBU (One of my favorite hops)
1/2 oz. Hallertau 60 min. = 7.0 IBU (I know this is a lager hop, but what the hell)
1/2 oz. Kent 35 min. = 6.1 IBU (I dunno)
1/2 oz. Amarillo 15 min. = 4.4 IBU
1 oz. Cascade 10 min. = 4.6 IBU (Citrus)
1 oz. Cascade 1 min. = 3.8 IBU
1 oz. Hallertau FLAMEOUT = ~2 IBU (Want some spice in this *****)
= Approximately 128 IBUs
Other things:
1/2 tsp. Gypsum @ 90 min. (I'm scared of the stuff so I didn't wanna' overdo it)
1 tsp. Ultramoss @ 20 min.
Yeast:
WLP 023 BURTON ALE YEAST
OG: 1.072
Going to DRY-HOP in secondary with Cascade / Amarillo / maybe also Hallertau, maybe something else also. I haven't gotten this far yet, because it's in primary, so if you have any suggestions on TYPE or AMOUNT of hops, please let me know!
